Thanks SpecialK82,
Not exactly what I wanted to hear. I had to pause and tears well up. We've been busily creating and replicating possibly the most virulent virus yet, and we don't know how to kill any of them, even hhv6 in human tissue. This is beginning to look like the biggest man made disaster yet. If this goes anything like theory dictates. You think there's a health care crisis now. You ain't seen nothing yet!
I guess if this is what I am interpreting, the best thing to happen is all the scientist working on it are infected; and have a strong motivation to fix it.
I hope I misunderstood it.

Pig virus DNA found in Merck rotavirus vaccine
WASHINGTON | Thu May 6, 2010 2:24pm EDT
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Pieces of DNA from two pig viruses were found in Merck & Co Inc's rotavirus vaccine, but there was no evidence of a safety risk, U.S. health officials said on Thursday.
The finding follows a March announcement of an apparently harmless pig virus found in a rival rotavirus vaccine from GlaxoSmithKline Plc.
Merck said in a statement the company's testing found "very low levels" of DNA from porcine circovirus, or PCV, in its Rotateq vaccine.
"There is no evidence at this time that DNA from PCV causes any disease in humans," Merck said.
The FDA said the number of virus DNA fragments in the Merck vaccine may be smaller than what has been found with Glaxo's product, called Rotarix.
Findings on the Merck and Glaxo vaccines will be discussed on Friday with an FDA advisory panel of outside experts, the agency said
Is it even remotely possible that the findings reported in Lombardi et al were the result of contamination of their reagents? No more likely than that the retrovirus described by DeFrietas et al in 1991 was contamination. Had the CDC done something then, we could have prevented the autism epidemic and a second generation of infected people. Instead they buried DeFrietas' work by withdrawing all funding. Deja vu?

Of course even "important" people get themselves and their children vaccinated, so why should there be a smear campaign? Aren't we all at equal risk?

Also, if this retrovirus is highly infectious or vertically transmitted, then the infection rate has to be growing rapidly. Cover-ups are, generally speaking, only useful for limited events -- those that have a clear ending -- because the cover-up only has to last until no one cares anymore; it's either old news or everyone involved has died off. In a situation like this, where the infection is spreading, how can a cover-up be realistically maintained?
It's a very interesting article, but I do worry about these claims being made loudly, because of the billions of dollars that the US government could invest in order to 'disprove' them. If the US government gets to hear that the WPI might have proof that vaccines might contain harmful retroviruses, then we're not going to see any more investment dollars in XMRV, and worse than that, there might be an orchestrated smear campaign against the WPI. It could be disastrous. Of course, if I believed that governments only ever acted in the best interests of the citizens, then I wouldn't be worried about it. But there's a lot of scientists, a lot of careers, a lot of companies, and a lot of money involved in producing vaccines. And a lot of US politicians are probably closely linked to big-pharma companies. Personally, I don't think that this is a theory that our community should be making much noise about until we have many more positive research papers published about XMRV.
No doubt it has already happened and is happeneing. You can bet your boody the drugs companies have been trying to prevent what just came out. I would argue that is what the 4 "might be contamination" papers from the UK are about. And the dried blood spot study.
THe problem is these government agengies have to manipulate people into doing their dirty work. It's gotten to the point where it is going to be difficult to manipulate all of their supporters given the truth that has come out and the gravity of their actions.
Do you remember the UK Minister John Gummer at the height of the BSE problem in the UK? Look at the way in which he used his 4 year old daugher to try and convince us all was OK

We simply do not know how all very powerful people treat their children.
